  SAP Error Message:
  WS381 - No settlement process types exist for settlement document list partner &1
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the settlement process in SAP when the system tries to determine the settlement process type for a particular settlement document list partner (such as a cost center, internal order, WBS element, etc.), but no settlement process type is defined or assigned for that partner.
  In other words, the system cannot find any settlement process type configured for the receiver (settlement recipient) in the settlement rule or master data. This typically happens if:
  
  The settlement receiver (e.g., cost center, internal order) does not have a settlement profile or settlement process type assigned.
  The settlement profile or process type is missing or incorrectly maintained in the master data of the settlement receiver.
  The settlement rule is incomplete or incorrectly maintained.
  The settlement document list partner is not properly configured in the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the settlement process types are correctly maintained and assigned for the settlement document list partner. Follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Settlement Profile of the Receiver:
  
  Go to the master data of the settlement receiver (e.g., internal order, cost center, WBS element).
  Verify that a settlement profile is assigned.
  For example, for internal orders, check transaction KO02 (Change Internal Order) ? Settlement tab ? Settlement profile.
  
  
  
  Maintain Settlement Process Types:
  
  Ensure that the settlement profile assigned to the receiver contains valid settlement process types.
  Use transaction OKO7 to maintain settlement profiles and process types.
  Verify that the settlement process types are correctly defined and active.
  
  
  
  Check Settlement Rules:
  
  Verify the settlement rules for the sender object.
  Make sure the settlement rules specify valid receivers with appropriate settlement process types.
  For internal orders, use KO02 ? Settlement rules tab.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration for Settlement Document List Partner:
  
  The partner in the settlement document list must be correctly configured.
  For example, if the partner is a cost center, ensure the cost center master data is active and properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Re-run Settlement:
  
  After correcting the master data and configuration, re-run the settlement process.
